Vital International
Foundation (VIF) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1996 in
Ghana as a private sector response to the rapidly growing HIV/AIDS
epidemic in Africa.

Besides the HIV/AIDS
programs, VIF has multiple educational programs to help improve the
standard of education. These educational programs include test
preparation for CGFNS/NCLEX for nurses, USMLE for doctors; and TOEFL,
GRE, GMAT, and SAT test preparation for hopeful students wanting to
study in the United States.

Many Africans go without proper health treatment and most certainly don't have medical insurance to pay for the services that are available. This program seeks to improve the medical situation so that more people can live a healthier and longer life.

Vital International
Foundation's test preparatory courses are taught by highly educated and
experienced American and Ghanaian professionals to the rigorous
standards required on the United States examinations. VIF also provides
all of its students with access to its modern onsite computer
laboratories with high speed internet access. Vital's extensive
computer library consists of hundreds of volumes of computer aided
learning programs in the health sciences, english, literature, history,
mathematics and science. Additionally, Vital students have access to a
4,500 book onsite library. Click on the following link to view the
